Pitch Your Story to My Podcast (#63)

The Art Biz ·

2020/10/15

I'm not crazy about the word "pitch" but I'm going with it. I use it in the sense that you are making an argument for something. You're making an argument that I should pay attention to who you are and the art you make. I'm more likely to pay attention to your art if you have a compelling story than if you ask me to buy, buy, buy. What I share in this special bonus episode will not only help you get on the Art Biz Podcast, but will also serve you when you pitch to other podcasts, bloggers, writers,

Facebook Live Group Art Shows with Brooke Harker (#62)

The Art Biz ·

2020/10/08

Fun isn't a word used very often when we think of marketing or business tasks. Still, it's one of the criteria I suggest considering when you're thinking about whether to add something to your busy schedule. When lockdown started, Brooke Harker threw her fears about doing live video out the window and created Saturday Night Live Art Shows—because she thought it would be fun. It started with just her, but quickly grew to a core of regular artists, with new ones added each week. I wanted to talk with

The Value of Critique Groups for Artists with...

The Art Biz ·

2020/09/24

Just a mention of the word critique can bring back painful memories for some artists. Or downright fear from those who have never participated in a professional critique. Artists who have been part of formal and ongoing critique groups find them invaluable to their creative development. In the latest episode of the podcast, I talk with Patricia Miranda, founder of The Crit Lab. She's been leading 7 separate critique groups in 3 states and has recently taken them online. We discussed: Why artists

Reclaiming Your Year - Even Now (#60)

The Art Biz ·

2020/08/28

I'm a planner, and I like helping artists plan. I'm good at it! If you've taken any of my courses, or even read my book, you anticipate that there will be at least one plan involved. This is one of the special episodes I'm adding since Covid hit—a topic that will help you stay in control of your art business. In talking with my students and clients, I realize how devastating this year has been. Truth be told, I didn't really have to talk with them to know that their plans had been dashed, but it

My Best Practices for Working with an Assistant (#59)

The Art Biz ·

2020/08/20

Four and a half years ago I hired the best assistant I have ever had at Art Biz Success. She has been loyal, prompt, and 200% dependable. She was 21 years old at the time—about to turn 22—and had just graduated early from college. After making many hiring mistakes in the past, I was determined to do it right this time And I did. I hit the jackpot. Mesa is moving on to new professional opportunities, but I wanted to give her a little surprise send-off. (Any typos are on me this week!) In episode #59

Adding E-Commerce to Your Website with Lynn Goldstein...

The Art Biz ·

2020/07/16

Why wouldn't you make it easier for people to buy art directly from you? That's what Lynn Goldstein thought. She built a shopping cart for her website earlier this year. And the sales rolled in immediately after the March launch. To date, Lynn has sold 18 original paintings and about a dozen reproductions directly from her site, and I wanted to find out how. It must be said that neither Lynn nor I are not experts in all of the options you have for shopping carts. I wanted to share Lynn's experience

Elevating Women and People of Color with Adri Norris...

The Art Biz ·

2020/07/09

Adri Norris was born in Barbados and raised in New York and New Mexico. A former U.S. Marine, she says she was raised to be a leader—to help people and improve lives. Adri is on a mission to tell stories of women who have made history. She does so through her art, her teaching, and her speaking. She is especially interested in shining a spotlight on women of color that have been overlooked in our history books. In this episode of the podcast, I asked Adri about her work, her teaching, and her

How to Name Your Art Business (#56)

The Art Biz ·

2020/06/25

One of the first steps an artist makes when turning professional is to decide on an art business name, and many new artists make this more complicated than it should be. Allow me to bottom line this entire podcast episode: If you are a fine artist, your first choice is to always use your given name for marketing your original art. I understand it isn't always this easy. There are sometimes reasons for not using your own name, including, as I've learned, reasons of physical and emotional safety

Artists Help Feed America with Sandra Felemovicius (#55)

The Art Biz ·

2020/06/18

Sandra was born in Mexico City and received her BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1995. She uses lines, marks, patterns, and textures to speak metaphorically and poetically of things that make no reference to the physical world. Her art constructs a sensual surface that weaves a path between process and narrative, mark and meaning, intention and abstraction. When Covid-19 struck, Sandra wanted to make a difference. She started a twice-weekly Instagram Live program, Tap Into Your

Silence=Complicity #BlackLivesMatter (#54)

The Art Biz ·

2020/06/15

This is a special episode of the Art Biz Podcast, which features my recent comments about #BlackLivesMatter on social media and to my students and subscribers. I don’t know where I’ll be going from here, but, as I said, I won’t be silent. And, what I know is that I’m not the person you should be listening to about this topic. However, I am the person who is happy to ask questions of those you should be listening to. That said … I’m looking for new voices who would like to speak up on this podcast

Born in California, raised in Mexico City, Carmen Mariscal had been living in Paris for many years when our paths crossed. She's been sheltering in place with her family in the north of France during Covid, but will soon be returning to London, where they resettled a couple of years ago. I've watched Carmen's career soar as she devoted herself to serious projects and exhibitions. Along the way, it's been my pleasure to guide her when she needs it.

Making Art While Grieving Loss with Jan Heaton (#52)

The Art Biz ·

2020/05/22

For the past 11 years, Jan Heaton has been grieving at the same time she has had an active art career. First was the 10 years of her daughter's illness. Then, in 2019, her daughter's passing. I felt it was a good time to discuss the topic of grief since so many artists are grieving during Covid-19. Artists share grief over lost plans, opportunities, studio spaces, human connection, routines, and travel. And probably a lot more. Born in Michigan, Jan Heaton is a watercolorist who calls Austin and

Writing Your Artist Statement (#50)

In this episode I want to talk about a document you can revisit (or perhaps face for the first time) that gives you power (control) over how your art is perceived. Yes, I’m talking about your artist statement. Don’t be scared! This is important. And if you don’t want to listen, you can read every word at YourArtistStatement.com. This pandemic has caused so many people to be introspective. If you're one of them, you might want put this time to good use and work on your statement, regardless of

A Year of Cleaning with Daryl Johnson (#49)

The Art Biz ·

2020/04/23

Daryl D. Johnson gathers inspiration for her paintings of clouds from kayaking, gardening, and motorcycling. The views are familiar, but the subtext is the underlying chi, the sweeping momentum. She was the first girl to take mechanical drawing in her high school, having to plead with the guidance counselor for permission to enroll. She likes to tell the story of her first day in class when Mr. Ruthizer took out a drawing implement and said, “This is a pencil. I am going to show you how to sharpen
